For its first European participation, Brest never ceases to impress. The Bretons are still undefeated after 3 games and they held on to Leverkusen this evening. A performance that makes Pierre Lees-Melou proud.
Match after match, Stade Brestois confirms that its place in the Champions League is not usurped at all. The Bretons beat Sturm Graz and Salzburg in the first two matches but they were even stronger this Wednesday. They earned a 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen. A result which tastes like victory given the superb Brest performance and the pedigree of its German opponent. Xabi Alonso's men only lost one match in all competitions last season, completing the league-cup double in the process. Scorer this evening, Pierre Lees-Melou had reason to be over the moon after the match.
At the microphone of Canal+, he relished the Brest result and did not hesitate to send a dig at certain detractors of his club. “ I think many saw us getting burned, sorry for the term. And, we were far from being ridiculous I think. It proves that we are a team that has heart, that plays together. Well, I'm not going to say that we have any regrets but I think we had a good match all the same. So I'm happy “, he indicated to Laurent Paganelli. A warning for teams like Barcelona or Real Madrid who will soon find the Breton pirates. Eric Roy's men will not offer the three points so easily.
